Beauty & Style

There will hardly be any woman who is not aware of the importance of following a proper beauty routine. The idea of beautifying themselves is nothing new for women and has existed since prehistoric times. Since time immemorial, women have been using different products for cleansing, toning, moisturizing and protecting their skins.

One of my fondest childhood memories is watching my grandmother maintain her looks with her favorite products and natural ingredients. Tibet Snow was her signature beauty product which she would use all year round. According to her, it was the perfect moisturizer, which kept her skin supple and radiant. She would also recommend using rose water as a toner and yogurt as a cleansing mask every other day.

True to her word, these beauty routines worked wonders for her as I never saw even a slight dry patch, blackhead or pimple on her skin, which maintained its glow even in her old age.

The point is that having a ensuring regular skincare for acne free skin is what our skin demands and moisturizing is a vital part of the process.

The science behind moisturizers

Being a pharmacist by profession, I have made a number of moisturizers for acne free skin in my lab. Typically, a moisturizer constitutes a complex mixture of emollients, oils, lubricants or humectants.

The main function of these ingredients is to seal in skin moisture by preventing it from getting evaporated. Moisturizers work either by forming a thin layer on the skin surface to lock the skin moisture in and attract water from the air to hydrate the skin. Alternatively, they may contain amino-lipid complexes.

The effectiveness and usage of a moisturizer is determined by its active constituents, with each of these products specifically made for distinct skin types and requirements.

My own experience with moisturizers

I became a regular user of moisturizers after my first acne breakout. I was given prescription medications such as Retin- A and Benzoyl Peroxide, which dried my skin out, causing it to shed and turn flaky.

Disappointed, I went back to my dermatologist who then prescribed me a sunscreen for day use and a light moisturizer for nighttime. From that day onward, I never experienced any form of dryness, irritation or redness on my skin. The smooth texture it gave my skin gave it a healthy appearance. In fact, my regular makeup routine before leaving for work has never been easier!

The manufacturer’s motto for this product revolves around helping women attain healthier skin that has a naturally fresh and glowing appearance. According to the company’s message, cream’s hydrating formula comprises the ideal blend of ingredients to that rejuvenates the skin and make it a perfect product for those with sensitive skin types.
